    The next scene was in New Ross town
    Where there was a mighty throng:
    Bands and green banners to the Work-house marched along
    Many familes were evicted there
    And made for the Poor-house gate,
    Where they intended to watch their homes
    Until they emigrate.

    So God pity poor old Eire
    In the Winter that is nigh,
    There is a dark and dreary cloud
    Hanging o'er her in the sky.
    So let the landords turn around
    And a fair rent let them fix.
    And we'll have peace once more in Ireland,
    In September '86.
